Interesting book yet lacks a voice which can be seen due to the style of writing. There are also issues concerning references which are a little dated to get. A little slow at some points the story moves in several directions yet a good story all in all ( )

I'd been waiting on this one for a while. Finally got my hands on a copy.

The first time I read the liner notes of one of their CDs, I thought, this is good stuff, they should write a book. It's where their alter egos, Slim and Howdy came into play. Much to my delight, and I'm sure many other fans, those cowboys surface in a comic crime novel waving a trail of dust and trouble everywhere they go. From their initial chance meeting at a used car lot to the kidnapping of a long-time friend, the two find themsevles in some sticky situations with some morally challenged individuals. And do so with charming wit. The sharp dialogue will have you laughing out loud.

Whether or not you're a fan of their music, if you enjoy cowboys, suspense and funny one liners, you're sure to like this.

This book was a fun, wild ride. One I didn't want to end. I highly recommend it. It also comes with a bonus CD with the song, "Gotta Get Me One of Those" on it. Love the song! ( )
